/kind/ - Random Acts of Kindness

For as long as I can remember yup

Nope, but it would be cool wear them and look smart.

Only when I'm driving, really. I just keep them in the car all the time.

Used to, in late 2012 I switched to contacts. One of the best decisions I've made, I'll never go back to just glasses.

I don't wear glasses myself, but a s メガネっ娘 enjoyer I really love girls who wore glasses. To the point where it can determine my GFs choice.

Glasses make girls cuter!

Yeah, ever since I was a kid. Can vividly remember putting my hand up in class as a kid to tell the teacher I couldn't see the board and then getting glasses a week later.

It was inevitable, mother and father both have them and I was never outside much. Was either reading a book, watching TV or playing vidya inside all the time. Having Blue eyes doesn't help the situation too.

Maybe I should get contacts, but slightly scared of touching my eyeball with my finger and having to pick the lens out when I'm done.

Yes! I went 36 years without bothering to get any even though I knew I needed them. The first time I put them on I was in awe. People can actually read street signs and see clocks? Amazing!

I do. I have had to wear them for about 20 years now. I remember my first pair of glasses, I was 6 so I picked ones that I thought were really cool. I looked like a surfer!

This pdf has some useful advice for any of you who don't want to wear glasses, or want to avoid wearing them in the future.

No, but when I was a kid I wanted glasses because I thought they looked scholarly. Of course, as an adult I realise the absurdity of wanting to be visually impaired just to look more intelligent. That reminds me, when I was a teenager, it was trendy for hipsters to wear frames without any lenses in them.

Glasses complete the girl.

Yes, since I was in kindergarten. I wasn't as bold about it as >>28, I just quietly refused to sit anywhere but the very front until the teacher noticed.

It was kind of expected, since my grandma had lousy vision, my dad got it from her, and half of his kids got it from him. At worst I was about -12 to -13, depending on the eye, which is too high for laser surgery. it's gotten a bit better over the past few years as I age and get what would normally be the far-sighted vision problems, except for me it just fixes things. Except now I have a cataract in my right eye so I have to get that replaced eventually no matter what. I'm putting it off for now, because the lens replacement is going to destroy my ability to focus on different things so I need to get bifocals or something. And I need to get the surgery on both eyes because you can't have one eye at normal vision and one at -12.

Oh, and I'm at constant risk for glaucoma, but that bullet hasn't fired (yet). Maybe it will eventually, it did for my dad and brother.

I've never been sure if things like that actually work or not, but my eyes are fucked in so many ways it seems pointless to even try.

I used to wear glasses, now I wear daily contacts because I find them more comfortable and convenient.

>>127
As strange it seems and as skeptical as I am, I might actually try it a bit. My prescription isn't that harsh, and I can function without my lenses, so it should be a snap. And to give credit to the author, I do know that a lot of people, myself included, have kept the same prescription for years by not using their lenses daily.

>so I picked ones that I thought were really cool.
Bet you did look cool. Like a cool little surfer!

I got glasses for the first time when I was ~14. I couldn't stand them. I never wore them in school because they would get pulled off my head and destroyed. I got contacts and used them until I got surgery. It worked for me, I didn't know vision this good was possible. I like being able to see small details and beauty. Being able to ignore ads better is a benefit of poor vision.

I have since kindergarten. I even used to be into glasses girls. Now I'm just into the frames themselves. I'd like to attend a workshop on how to make them from acetate, but it's too expensive.

>Do you wear glasses?
yeah, why?

My eyesights are bad but I don't wear glasses. Maybe I should wear one.

I like glasses but don't need them yet. My nose is kind of asymmetrical and glasses look very crooked when I put them on, otherwise I wouldn't have a problem wearing some. It sounds stupid but generally people with glasses seem friendly to me, like oh that person can't be bad!

If it's bad enough to where it's a hindrance in your daily activities, you should probably invest in a pair of quality eyewear. It will end up paying for itself.

Humans have crooked eyes and crooked ears among other things. The glasses should be able to be adjusted in the hands of the right optician. You could also buy asymmetrical frames which exist - a classic is one where one side is a square and the other is a circle. But yeah, there should probably be a brand out there that specializes in people with assymetrical faces. When you get old, you could have one eye for near and one for far and wear a monocle.

No. I look weird in glasses. Sometimes I’ve worn other peoples glasses to see what the world looks like to them and I still find it hard to believe that they really see everything as all blurry. People in my family have bad eyesight so I’ll probably have to wear them eventually, but for now I’m thankful I don’t.

The pairs of glasses I've had before never seemed to fit right. I think I just have a crooked face.
